Liked: What an amazing little site this is!! We loved it here, everything is very clean and well maintained. The hot showers were so good! The pitches were large and flat.
Breakfast in the pub was so good too. Wish we could have stayed for longer! We were a little worried about the road noise because of other reviews, but we honestly didn't notice it at all and the road isn't busy at all after dark. The site was very peaceful and we all slept so well. Thank you and we hope to be back soon!!
Disliked: Just a couple of small suggestions, changing the locks on the outside toilets to show when they're in use would be great, and something to dry hands on too. It would be less confusing if all the codes were the same too. But not really a big deal. Other than those small niggles, the site is absolutely perfect.
